If things look fine on the outside but don’t feel that way on the inside, I’d be glad to help.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware. They’ve already done a lot of reflecting. But they still find themselves dealing with anxiety, low moods, familiar reactions, or repeating patterns in relationships that don’t simply change just because they understand them.

I am a relational therapist who emphasizes a social justice approach to my work. I believe that to truly, deeply understand ourselves, we must look at the larger context within which we operate. In the therapy room, I strive to support you as you explore your own history and identity with curiosity, warmth, and care. I apply a trauma-informed lens to provide affirming care, as I believe that a respectful, supportive relationship is a key aspect of facilitating growth and self-acceptance. I am especially effective at working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD, alongside life transitions and gender and sexuality explorations.

When you’re looking for a therapist, one of the most important things is finding someone with whom you can develop a safe, healthy, and trusting relationship. I believe that it is in the context of this kind of relationship, that healing, growth, and learning occur. I’ve had a rich and varied career working as a psychologist and training doctoral students in a range of settings including an inpatient hospital, a clinic for families living with HIV, in community mental health clinics, and in private practice.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you need to drop into greater ease or “grounding”, but you keep getting “triggered” and respond in your old ways? Have you tried meditation or yoga, yet feel something is missing? Have you sensed true “flow” and playfulness in your interactions with others or within yourself, but, sadly, it is just not consistent? Educators, do seek being that teacher who moved you into this profession? Have you spent time learning how to develop your parenting and general relationship skills, but you keep reverting to prior patterns of reactivity? If so, try something new with me.

I believe that every person has the potential to grow, become the best version of themselves, and discover strengths they didn't even know they had. Life can be challenging, and sometimes it's difficult to see the possibilities it holds when you are weighed down by stress, self-doubts, or unhealthy habits. As your therapist, it is my ultimate goal to support you in becoming a better version of yourself. In our work together, you'll be welcomed with a warm space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued for who you are, without judgement.
